Sponsorship
Our current sponsorship program
A sponsored child will be able to access much-needed healthcare, nutritional supplements, clean water, education, and job-skills training. Furthermore, a sponsorship also helps the local community’s economy and improves safe recreation and learning opportunities. Our sponsorship involves enrolment in church-based school programs. GID Africa honors children’s rights through our “Keep A Girl Child In School” campaign. We ensure that children have a play area, are educated, live in a supportive environment, and obtain good healthcare for the wellbeing and general development of the child.
At present, GID Africa caters to around 54 vulnerable children at Praise Junior School & St Claire Primary and Secondary School, both located at Nalukolongo in Kampala District. Caring for all the children has been possible through donations that help in sponsoring the child in terms of education, feeding, health, and clothing.
How to sponsor a child
Cost
Sponsoring a child through GID Africa will cover school fees, scholastic materials, food, shelter, clothing, and medical care for the child. The cost of sponsorship depends on the age of the student.
Primary school student: 185,000 Ugandan Shillings or ~$50 USD per month
Secondary school student: 370,000 Ugandan Shillings or ~$100 USD per month
Circumstances & communication
The children who are sponsored are those who live in different communities than their relatives, who are no longer in a position to take care of them.
Sponsors will receive to opportunity to view the profiles of potential sponsor children, and can choose which child they would like to support. Sponsors will be able to write letters to their sponsor child, which is beneficial to establishing communication and a good relationship.
